I don't recommend on the fly copying. There's too much hanging in the balance that can go wrong during the process. Take your time and do it right I always say
Given that you have free disk space. For someone like me that usually my free disk space is no more than one gigabyte, copy on the fly is the only solution.
In that case I'd recommend reading at full speed and burning slow to avoid having the worthless "lossless linking" feature kicking in. Keep in mind if you're backing up movies that are over 4.36 GB you're going to need to compress them and there's no way to do that on the fly. _X_X_X_X_X_[small] Got Indie? http://cdbaby.com/ My Movies! http://www.intervocative.com/dvdcollection.aspx/Rephaim Forum rules! http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/2487[/small]
I thought "on the fly" means that there is no (or only very limited) hard disk access. Is it not true?
It's true. On the fly for the most part bypasses the hard drive although it may use some of your page file in the process.
A modern 80GB hard drive is only $80 CDN ($60 USD) And, maybe you could get 10 or 20 bucks for that DVD reader too... Hard disk space is a necessity; burning DVDs is a luxury. Seems you might have your priorities confused, panosk Regards
